Abstract
Sericulture is a science which deals with the rearing of silkworms and production of silk. In India most of the rural livelihood is sericulture and is the base for financial, social, political, and intellectual advancements and upliftment since. Silk is called the queen of textiles due to its glittering luster, softness, elegance, durability, and tensile properties. There exist several commercial species of silkworms, yet the commonly used one is bombyx mori. Silkworm is one of the most vital domesticated insects producing rich silk thread in the form of cocoon as it feeds on mulberry leaves during its larva phase. However, during this transformation from Larva to Silk, the silkworm must undergo many stages. In each of these stages, the monitoring of silkworm is regarded as one of the major challenges for a farmer. In this paper, we proposed a method towards automation in the sericulture system using an arduino board. It deals with the regulation of climatic conditions, such as temperature and humidity, in the farm. In many nations, sericulture—the raising of silkworms for the manufacture of silk—is an essential business. Disease outbreaks, irregular environmental conditions, and time-consuming monitoring procedures are some of the difficulties facing traditional sericulture methods. To maximise silkworm rearing conditions, this article describes the creation and deployment of an Automated Sericulture Monitoring System that makes use of IoT, AI, and sensor technologies. Technology guarantees data analytics, real-time monitoring, and automation of environmental adjustments, which raises productivity, decreases reliance on labour, and improves the quality of silk production.
